Methodology

What defines the Digital Sector?

The
definition used in this release was developed by Digital Jersey, drawing from
analysis done by the OECD using the UN Standard Industrial Classifications
(SICs) along with UK Office for National Statistics (ONS). Digital Jersey’s
definition differs from the UK in that it includes e-commerce and advertising
agencies, as sectors dependent on technology.

Methodology

These
estimates have been produced using Population Office sources (Manpower returns)
from identified digital businesses by SIC classification.
